She posted a screengrab of a gossip site with the headline “Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth Split Rumors,” and wrote, “Happy 10 year anniversary my love. Good to see everyone is as dumb as they were in 2009!”

Miley added, “Some things never change .... & I hope the way you feel about me is one of them.”

Cyrus spoke about her relationship in a cover story for ELLE magazine's August issue.

"I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married," she told ELLE. "But my relationship is unique ... it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it."
